Flying with Aerocene Pacha proves that humans—in ethical alliance with all who we share this planet with and elemental energies—can break the toxic bond with fossil fuels and the extractive ideologies underpinning the Capitalocene - and that is just the start!

These 32 world records have been recognised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) under FAI category A, subclass AT (solar balloons) for the General and Female categories, for Distance and Duration. They were undertaken with FAI approved observers and an Argentine FAI validated pilot in order to comply with this renowned institution's stringent norms.
